slacker.cam Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Man I would go EFI in 0.2 seconds if I had a G4 sitting in the car, they are a real sweet ECU, I'm all for MS but if had a G4 there is no way I would change it out for a MS. Quad throttles with a propper plenum and it will make more power everywhere, plus better drivability, starting, easier to tune if you make any upgrades. Plus you will make some good coin selling the carbs Don't get me wrong. I'm all for a set of quads and EFI. But, aside from being a fan of the simplicity of the carbs, I just don't have time to set it up at the moment. I have 4 more weeks before trackday so time's of the essence. The other reason for not dicking with it is that it's a bigport motor and still has a 3 rib block and probably the little gudgeon pins. It's never going to make as much power as the later model motor with the same amount of coin spent on it. I have a 20V and a smallport motor sitting in the garage at home so I'll most likely build one of those up to eventually replace this motor. If I was to go to EFI there's no way I'd sell the Link and replace it with a MS. For timing I'm not so fussed as all it's doing at the moment is acting like a mechanical advance dizzy (no TPS or MAP input - just RPM).

Jif Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Interesting that you bought those wheels Jif. I wonder why he sold them. What size are they? Possibly too small for the big brakes or too narrow for decent tyres... They are 15x7 0 offset. I can't quite remember why he sold them but he could have wanted wider tyres or that they are a bit ruff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Sweet, yea I understand about just keeping it going on the carbs, keep that G4 though You plan on staying with the NA theme in the long term future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXGPWR Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 ^ agreed fully, G4 Storms are a really nice ECU, can do allmost anything with them! Nice looking car though man, i like what your doing with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Looking forward to the next post! I want to replate all of the nuts and bolts from my engine bay... as well as the heater pipes that run either side of the head, so this is relevant to my interests.

Vintage Grumble Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Nice work going on here, me likey. I can imagine how awesomely horrid that exhaust would sound, friggin ace. Also, I understand why it has such a huge sump, my oil was getting to 150C in two laps of taupo track 2, so I fitted an oil cooler, now it only gets to about 125C, if I end up tracking mine more, im def going to increase the sump volume a fair bit.

Taistorm Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 What?! Didn't realise this was the AE86 that's been up at Tony's. Thats crazy haha small world. The Zinc plating looks sooo shiny! Was starting to get quite cloudy but he replaced all the fluids/reconditioned the electrodes the other week. If your cars up there on Sunday i'll probably be there and have a nosey, need to do more work on my engine (it's sitting there in between those tubs and the pipe bender).

Brock-Lee Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Are you related to UJ? This is going to be such a well presented car, I really really do love your work haha. Ive found spotweld drills are a much of a muchness tbh brad. Ive used a couple of different brands and never really had one work any better than another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
